Huayu 1995

Chapter 30 I Can't Do Without You (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"Actually, the main problem is the huge income gap. In the US, washing dishes for a month can earn more than a university professor earns in a year. Naturally, people with the means are scrambling to get there..."

Su Chao added another comment.

Saying things like that makes him seem particularly clear-headed.

He wasn't blindly sticking to his own opinions.

"They've been developing for so many years, and we've been developing for so many years."

At this time, Jiang Wen was probably still quite radical, but he became more reserved later on.

He stopped speaking and instead incorporated many of his views into the film.

If you can understand it, then read it; if you can't, he doesn't need to argue with you.

“We are developing rapidly, while they will gradually slow down. It won’t be long before everything changes dramatically.”

As someone reborn from the future, Su Chao believed this more than anyone else.

Because he actually saw things that many people in this era wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The aircraft carrier has set off, and the Type 055 destroyer has gone out for a stroll again.

The J-10 has cleared its name and is now leading the world in sixth-generation fighter jets.

At first, everyone was very excited.

Later, things gradually cooled down. It wasn't that I didn't care, but rather that I had gotten used to it.

The empire was originally himself.

"I don't think the income gap can be changed anytime soon, but I hope we can see that day."

Zhou Xiaowen didn't know what to say.

Su Chao and Jiang Wen, speaking back and forth, had already explained things very clearly.

Which school did you go to?

Jiang Wenyue found Su Chaoyue pleasing to the eye; although the boy was young, he had remarkable insight.

"Ahem, I didn't get into university this year."

When asked the question directly, Su Chao didn't try to mislead anyone.

"Try harder next time; I didn't pass the first time either."

Jiang Wen was encouraged by Yingda to apply to the Beijing Film Academy, but the academy preferred actors like Tang Guoqiang at the time. Jiang Wen already had nasolabial folds at the age of nineteen, so he was naturally rejected.

"Can I take a group photo with you all to commemorate my good fortune in joining the cast of such a well-made film as 'The Emperor's Shadow'? I'll develop the photos later to motivate myself to work hard."

Hang them on the wall, hang them all on the wall!

Su Chao felt that the walls of the training class were still too monotonous.

Simply pasting newspapers together only makes people think that the training course is not up to standard.

"Okay, let's find a photographer."

Jiang Wen made the decision and agreed to Su Chao's request.

As for whether Su Chao would use the photo with him to pressure the examiners during the art exam, he believed in Su Chao's character.

Zhou Xiaowen did not refuse.

It's just a group photo, which is very common on film sets.

A photographer came over and snapped a few pictures.

Su Chao exchanged contact information with the photographer and arranged to pick up the photos after they were developed.

The photographer was very polite to those who were able to take photos with the lead actors.

The group photo went smoothly, but the evening shoot was not so smooth. It started at 6 p.m. and didn't finish until 8 p.m.

During his break, Su Chao found a public phone and called Yan Siyuan.

"Brother, I'm filming a movie with Jiang Wen and Ge You. They can't do without me..."

Lu Bu, who had come with him, blushed.

So shameless.

It seems I still have a lot to learn.

Yan Siyuan, on the other end of the phone, also blushed.

So angry...

Yesterday, he was still jokingly thinking that Su Chao had broken the rule that no original songs could be sung before midnight on the first day, and the rule that no songs outside the playlist could be sung on the second day. He wondered if Su Chao would cause some trouble on the third day.

result……

You've got it!
Damn it, he skipped work!
This is simply unbearable.

"You absolutely have to come. I don't care what time you get off work, I'll send a car to pick you up. Wherever you're filming, you just wait!"

"I don't know when I'll finish work..."

Su Chao listened to the dial tone on the other end of the phone with a helpless expression.

"what happened?"

"Old Yan insisted on taking me to the karaoke bar, saying he couldn't do without me."

"..."

The film crew wrapped up work at around 10 p.m.

On top of the original thirty yuan a day, an additional twenty yuan will be added.

That means I suddenly earned fifty yuan.

Of course, Brother Song will definitely get a share.

The Guo brothers, Lü Bu, and Huang Bo each received thirty yuan, with twenty yuan being taken away.

Work starts at eight in the morning and ends at ten at night.

After fourteen hours in total, all I got was thirty yuan.

There's nothing you can do about it; you dare not be angry or speak out.

What's difficult for us isn't life itself, but our living expenses.

Because Su Chao had close-up shots, he cannot be categorized as an ordinary extra.

Brother Song gave Su Chao three hundred yuan.

Su Chao repeatedly made polite requests, insisting that since he had acquired a good fishing rod that day, he couldn't accept the money anymore.

Brother Song has always been someone who likes to take advantage of others.

After Su Chao declined for a while, the money was conveniently kept by the other party. Su Chao, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

That three hundred yuan is considered settled, and even if something happens to Brother Song, it has nothing to do with him.

As for whether or not to talk to Zhou Xiaowen, we'll see.

Zhou Xiaowen poured all her heart and soul into this film.

I heard that they even mortgaged their property because of the overspending.

If "The Emperor's Shadow" flops at the box office, he and Xi'an Film Studio will go crazy, and someone will definitely be in trouble.

This is also why Su Chao doesn't want to get involved with Brother Song.

Since the filming was taking place in the city, the production crew was not responsible for transportation.

Fortunately, the car sent by Casablanca was waiting nearby.

Yan Siyuan's order was simple: no matter when Su Chao finished filming, bring him to Casablanca.

Originally, he had agreed to Su Chao occasionally skipping the karaoke session.

But who told Su Chao to create such an original song?

Of course, original songs are nothing special; many original songs become popular every year.

It's much better than "Goodbye".

Unfortunately, you can only hear this song "Goodbye" in our karaoke room.

It's unique in Beijing, so it naturally attracts many people to join in the fun.

It doesn't matter which place you go to, it's all the same.

Even Yan Siyuan couldn't withstand the pressure from everyone demanding that Su Chao appear.

He also began to admire Su Chao.

Su Chao released a new song at a nightclub. Chen Jiantian felt sorry for the kid and even felt a little sorry for him. He called Chen Jiantian to see if he could help Su Chao release an album.

As a result, they were making a killing releasing singles in karaoke bars.

They've turned their once-perfect karaoke bar into Su Chao's personal stage.

Wu Xiubo and Sha Baoliang cried every day.

Su Chao sent his brothers back home under the pretext that he needed to go back to get his guitar.

Then he rushed to the karaoke bar.

Neither Huang Bo nor Lü Bu went; they were both normal people who needed to conserve their energy for tomorrow's training course promotion.

Only Su Chao, relying on his strong physique, continued to rush from one event to another.

"I'm so sorry, I was held up by something today..."

She apologized right away and behaved very obediently.

If a man is too calculating, he's just being petty.

With such good looks, women are even less likely to argue with him.

"Sis, Su Chao is so popular!"

Little Red Riding Hood looked excitedly at the cheering crowd around her, as if all the cheers were for her.

"Hmm~"

Lin Zhimeng took a small sip of wine.

I knew this kid wasn't so naive. Look at his charismatic deception; I'm probably one of the people he's fooled.

"He's going to sing, could it be 'Goodbye'?"

Little Red Riding Hood was very excited.

She finally managed to convince her sister to come and see Su Chao sing.

I didn't expect Su Chao to not come today.

Fortunately, Sister Hong told everyone that Su Chao was delayed by something and would arrive later.

They've been waiting here ever since.

"Sit still, you're making me dizzy."

Lin Zhi dreamed of catching her sister, but failed.

"Sis, you're dizzy because you drank too much, not because I was swaying around."

Little Red Riding Hood sat back down next to her sister.

Su Chao on stage has already started singing.

The first song was indeed "Goodbye," which wasn't appropriate for Na Qiao at this time, since Su Chao was expressing his apologies to everyone.

This is the first time that sisters Lin Zhimeng and Lin Zhiqing have heard the full version of "Goodbye".

They certainly didn't disappoint.

It really sounds great.

"The next song is 'The Wind Continues to Blow,' by my favorite singer, Leslie Cheung."

Su Chao's song choice had already left Yan Siyuan speechless.

Why did you choose this depressing song instead of Leslie Cheung's more popular "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Silence is Golden"?

Because he arrived late, Su Chao randomly selected a few songs and sang them one after another.

The third song was "Let's Forget Each Other".

Let a word of tolerance linger between your brows / Observe a segment of human life's scenery / Who hasn't tasted both joy and sorrow...?

However, everyone soon discovered that Su Chao's rendition of the song was somewhat different from the original.

It's definitely impossible to surpass the original singer.

But it gave everyone a different feeling, from the singing style to the artistic conception.

This change sounds refreshing at first glance.

The dissatisfaction with Su Chao not continuing to sing "Goodbye" vanished instantly.

The fourth song Su Chao sang was "Too Foolish," and the fifth song was "Goodbye."

The task of completing five songs today has been accomplished.

He ignored the song request list; he needed to rest for a bit.

Most importantly, he saw Little Red Riding Hood and Thor.
